A party of gamblers sat down to dinner and some fresh oysters were brought in. Immediately one of the men waged that his oyster would gape first. The idea was hailed with enthusiasm; each man selected his oyster, impromptu rules were drawn up. stakes were depoaitcd and the game begun. Half an hour passed, and then an hour. and still the oysters made no move. News of the contest had reached the Casino and an interested crowd soon surrounded the table. bets being made for large sums amounting up to thousands. Just as the third hour was completed one oi the oysters gaped teehiy several times and then fell open on its owner's plate. When this man counted his winning: and side bets he had just 335.000.
